Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to a mold releasing device, and particularly to a mold releasing method.
- Injection molding processes are widely used for manufacturing workpieces, for example, optical articles such as lenses, light guide plates or other.
- the injection molding method has advantages such as high production rate and efficiency, and cost of optical elements thereby can be reduced.
- a mold is utilized for forming the workpiece.
- the mold typically includes a first mold part and a second mold part.
- Each of the first and second mold parts has a core member.
- Both of the core members have a molding surface conforming to a surface of the workpiece.
- a mold chamber according to a size of the workpiece is defined between the two molding surfaces of the core members.
- the core members of the mold need to be pulled apart from the mold to be replaced, or to be disassembled and then modified.
- pulling apart the core members directly may lead to problems for the mold such as abrasion and loss of concentricity, as a result, a service life of the mold is shortened and quality of the workpiece formed using such a mold is reduced also.
- a mold releasing method for releasing a core member from a mold includes steps of: a) providing a supporting member and arranging the supporting member on the mold, the supporting member comprising a base and a number of sidewalls extending from the base to the mold, a through hole being defined in the substrate and co-axially aligned with the core member; b) providing a bolt, the bolt comprising a threaded rod extending through the through hole of the substrate and threadedly engaged with the core member; and c) rotating the bolt to move the core member to disengage from the mold.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a mold releasing device arranged on a mold.
- FIG. 2 shows the mold releasing device engaging with the mold core of the mold.
- FIG. 3 shows the mold releasing device releasing a mold core of the mold.
- the mold releasing device is configured for releasing a core member of a mold.
- the mold includes a mold base 4 and a core member 5 .
- the mold base 4 defines a mounting hole 41 therein.
- the mounting hole 41 extends through the mold base 4 , and includes an upper portion 42 and a lower portion 43 .
- the upper portion 42 of the mounting hole 41 has a diameter greater than that of the lower portion 43 , i.e., the mold base 4 has a relatively large inner diameter at an upper portion, and a relatively small inner diameter at a lower portion thereof.
- a step (not labeled) is formed at an inner surface of the mold base 4 .
- the core member 5 which can be a member such as an insert, is received in the mounting hole 41 of the mold base 4 .
- the core member 5 includes an upper portion 51 arranged on the step of the mold base 4 with a diameter being approximately the same as the diameter of the upper portion 42 of the mounting hole 41 , and a lower portion 53 with a diameter being approximately the same as the diameter of the lower portion 43 of the mounting hole 41 .
- the lower portion 53 of the core member 5 forms a molding surface 55 at a distal end thereof.
- a tapped blind hole 52 is defined in a center of the upper portion 51 of the core member 5 with inner thread 54 formed therein.
- the tapped blind hole 52 is co-axially aligned with the mounting hole 41 of the mold base 4 .
- a depth of the tapped blind hole 52 of the core member 5 is less than a height of the core member 5 , and is greater than a height of the lower portion 53 of the core member 5 .
- the mold releasing device includes a supporting member 1 , a bolt 2 and a washer 3 .
- the supporting member 1 includes a substrate 11 and a pair of sidewalls 13 .
- the substrate 11 is elongated and rectangular.
- a through hole 12 is defined in a center of the substrate 1 .
- the sidewalls 13 extend downwardly from two opposite sides of the substrate 11 , respectively.
- a distance between the sidewalls 13 of the supporting member 1 is greater than the diameter of the upper portion 51 of the core member 5
- the supporting member 1 is arranged on a top surface (not labeled) of the mold base 4 with the sidewalls 13 thereof located at two opposite sides of the core member 5 of the mold.
- a height of the sidewalls 13 is greater than the height of the lower portion 53 of the core member 5 .
- the through hole 12 is co-axially aligned with the tapped blind hole 52 of the core member 5 .
- the bolt 2 includes a threaded rod 21 with outer thread 23 formed on an outer surface thereof, and a head 22 formed on a top end of the threaded rod 21 .
- the head 22 has a diameter lager than that of the threaded rod 21 .
- the washer 3 is ring-shaped with a central hole (not labeled) defined therein.
- the washer 3 is arranged on the substrate 11 of the supporting member 1 and surrounds the threaded rod 21 of the bolt 2 .
- An inner diameter of the washer 3 is greater than a diameter of the threaded rod 21 of the bolt 2 and less than a diameter of the head 22 of the bolt 2 .
- An outer diameter of the washer 3 is greater than the diameter of the head 22 of the bolt 2 .
- the threaded rod 21 has a height greater than a sum of a height of the washer 3 and the height of sidewalls 13 of the supporting member 1 , and less than a sum of a depth of the tapped blind hole 52 , the height of the sidewalls 13 and the height of the washer 3 .
- a height of the outer thread 23 of the threaded rod 21 of the bolt 2 is not less than the depth of the tapped blind hole 52 of the core member 5 . In this embodiment, the height of the outer thread 23 is greater than the depth of the tapped blind hole 52 .
- the mold releasing device is mounted on the mold for releasing the core member 5 of the mold.
- the threaded rod 21 of the bolt 2 extends through the washer 3 and the through hole 12 of the substrate 11 of the supporting member 1 to the core member 5 . Since the height of the bolt 2 is greater than the sum of the supporting member 1 and the washer 3 , the bottom end of the bolt 2 extends into the tapped blind hole 54 of the core member 5 .
- the threaded rod 21 of the bolt 2 and the core member 5 cooperatively form a helical pair.
- the threaded rod 21 of the bolt 2 rotates and moves downwardly along an axial direction thereof and threadedly engages into the tapped blind hole 52 of the core member 5 .
- the bolt 2 cannot move downwardly.
- a bottom end of the threaded rod 21 of the bolt 22 is received in a top end of the tapped blind hole 54 of the core member 5 .
- a distance between the bottom end of the threaded rod 21 and a bottom end of the tapped blind hole 54 is a little greater than the height of the lower portion 53 of the core member 5 .
- the core member 5 thus is conveniently and accurately released from the mold base 4 as the rotation of the bolt 2 .
- the washer 3 arranged between the supporting member 1 and the bolt 2 prevents friction occurring between the head 22 and the substrate 11 during rotation of the bolt 2 .
- the washer 3 can be omitted, and the head 22 of the bolt 2 abuts against the substrate 11 of the supporting member 1 . In this situation, rotation of the bolt 2 can be turned to the axial movement of the core member 5 through the action of the outer thread 23 of the bolt 2 and the inner thread 54 of the core member 5 .
- the mold releasing device and the mold releasing method employ a bolt 2 threadedly engaging into the core member 5 to form a helical pair, therefore, during mold releasing processes, the core member 5 moves axially and outwardly during rotation of the bolt 2 .
- the movement of the core member 5 is accurate and thus problems such as abrasion generated by pulling the core member 5 can be avoided.
- a service life of the mold is elongated and a quality of the workpiece formed using such a mold is improved.
- the supporting member 1 can define a thread in the through hole 12 thereof, and the bolt 2 can be threadedly engaged with the thread of the supporting member 1 and preassembled to the supporting member 1 . As a result, transportation or mounting of the mold releasing device is convenient.
